Hi @Oldyeller. this is a good approach to satisfy those who would want to use it on some PCs which dont have PAE. Although there are not very many PCs built since 1995 that don't have it, its obvious that couple members may still have these for their personal test or use needs.

Suggestion
You may want to differentiate your distros to make it simple for the community to understand which ISO is PAE and which is NOT.

(You may have already done this, so disregard my suggestion)

One method I have seen community members use is adding PAE somewhere in the name. That could make a given ISO readily distinguishable.

Thanks for the non-pae version. I'm posting from it now. Like Barry's official version, and Pemasu's earlier version, Precise 5.2.61-non-pae is able to use the pets, and sfses built for precise, Lupu or Lucid (at least, the one's I generally install). Additionally, it can run both Opera and firefox directly downloaded from their creators, and unpacked in /mnt/home.
The only problem I've run into thus far is that Chtheme GTK Theme Chooser doesn't appear to work. It seems to be stuck on Citrus, and selecting any other doesn't effect a change. Perhaps something I installed effected it. But it would be nice if someone else could test before I try to unscramble eggs.

Edit: It also seems that desktop settings>JWM Configuration does not work to change the number of virtual desktops.

Edit2: Both above problems did not appear on install to USB-Key booted from Thinkpad T42. So there must be a conflict with one of my usual additions.

Desiring to post the above, I had to look for this tread a couple of times, (a) because the name of the thread changed, but primarily (b) the first thing discussed is now about an update to mplayer. The text you intended for your post further down also found its way to the top of the thread.

On another thread, it's been suggested that you consider changing the name of your puplet. Don't feel bad about that suggestion. It happened to pemasu. Using iguleder's kernel (or a slight variant) he started working on dpup, calling it as iguleder had, "dpup." As that caused confusion, he changed the name of his puplet to Exprimo. Exprimo has had a great run, far greater than dpup.

For what it's worth --probably the same amount as you're paying for this suggestion-- since the source files being used are not "Ubuntu Precise" but rather "Ubuntu Pangolin Precise," and in keeping with Puppy's fondness for using names somehow relating to canines, you might consider the name "fangolin."

p.s. Ray MK has made me curious. Tomorrow, I'll install it to a USB-Key and see how it fairs on my Thinkpad T42 and Asus 701SD. Both, however, aren't really RAM challenged. I have a Dell Latitude which is, but that would require an actual install, and I really don't like playing around with it: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
